W: And then?
M: And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose from. You’ve planned your whole life around going to college. And now……”
W: I can see it. It’s true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now. Just think of the future. You will get better jobs.

Located on the Atlantic coast of the country, Lisbon is built on seven hills with the Tagus River running through the valley, making it a very impressive sight. Its position on the Atlantic coast also means that Lisbon has a pleasant temperature during the winter and summer. Lisbon is quite big and about 600,000 people live there, but for the tourists, every place of interest is within walking distance of the city centre. There are lots of pleasant street cafés and gardens and beautiful old houses everywhere in Lisbon. So wherever you go, there are things to see. It is very nice to take the tram, but the best way to get around in Lisbon is to take the subway. You can visit Lisbon anytime during the year while the best times are from April to June and from September to October.

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son Nathaniel in Los Angeles — our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his roof!
I had thought we had the mutual (互相) feeling — missing each other, but it didn’t turn out that way.
“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel said on our first night.
The same happened when I washed my hands. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought is a concern. But I also got instructions for pulling extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen count er and to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean.
More of these followed. At first I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant (暴君). Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his brothers and sisters when they were young. Now it was payback time. I remembered getting upset at my own father’s commands growing up, so I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s household rules.
Our role reversal (反转) revealed another side to my elder boy, giving me hope for his future parenting ability.
One afternoon we were walking along EI Matador Beach and Nathaniel gently guided me from one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my aching feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch.
“You did it! I’m really proud,” he said with a broad smile on his face, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
24. What specific rule did Nathaniel require about kitchen cleaning?
A. Using only new dishcloths. B. Keeping the sink dry at all times.
C. Washing hands before touching dishes. D. Pulling extra paper towels to wipe the counter.
25. How does the author feel about Nathaniel’s future parenting ability?
A. Uncertain. B. Confident. C. Puzzled. D. Annoyed.
26. According to Paragraph 7, how did Nathaniel help his father cross the beach?
A. By carrying him over dangerous rocks. B. By choosing a shorter route to the sand.
C. By warning him about approaching waves. D. By patiently guiding his movements step by step.
27. What is the main lesson the author learned from his visit to his son?
A. The need to maintain traditional parent-child relations.
B. The importance of communicating household expectations.
C. The value of mutual understanding and respect in the family.
D. The challenge of adjusting to children’s increased independence.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了作者在与成年儿子的相处中经历的角色转换和相互理解的过程。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“But I also got instructions for pulling extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen counter and to use the dish - cloth, which didn’t seem clean.( 但我也得到指示,要多拉几张纸巾来擦厨房台面,还要使用洗碗布,因为洗碗布看起来不太干净。)” 可知,Nathaniel 要求在厨房清洁时多扯些纸巾来擦厨房台面。故选D项。

【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中“One afternoon we were walking along EI Matador Beach and Nathaniel gently guided me from one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my aching feet and hands as ocean waves came close.( 一天下午,我们沿着EI斗牛士海滩散步,纳撒尼尔轻轻地引导我从一块大石头走到另一块大石头,耐心地告诉我,当海浪逼近时,我疼痛的脚和手应该放在哪里。)”可知,Nathaniel 是通过耐心地一步一步引导父亲的动作来帮助他穿过海滩的。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了作者去儿子家,一开始不适应儿子制定的各种规则,但后来想起自己以前对儿子的教导,意识到这是角色的反转。在相处过程中,作者看到了儿子的成长,儿子也像父亲一样照顾作者,这体现了家庭中相互理解和尊重的价值。故选C项。
C
Following the conclusion of China’s 2025 “Two Sessions” political meetings, Yao Ming made a groundbreaking proposal (提议) for a nationwide “24 hour screen free initiative” targeting minors. This overall plan seeks to deal with the alarming 68% surge in screen addiction among Chinese adolescents reported by the National Health Commission in 2024. By systematically improving outdoor recreation, physical exercise, and direct interpersonal communication, the proposal specifically deals with the problems of digital overuse: worsening eyesight — with 83% urban teens requiring corrective lenses (矫正镜片), weakened social adaptability, and rising anxiety disorders connected with virtual socialization.
This proposal fits well with China’s ongoing education shift towards overall quality education. A prime example comes from Shanghai’s 2025 English college entrance exam reforms, where oral communication assessments now take up 30% of total scores — a strategic move to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and practical social abilities. Parallel developments in Guangdong province demonstrate this educational evolution, with 85% of secondary schools carrying out compulsory team sports programs that develop leadership and emotional intelligence through structured group interactions.
Famous education specialists have voiced strong support for this digital detox approach. Dr. Li Wei, a leading sociologist from Peking University, explained during an interview: “Our studies reveal that students engaged in weekly offline group activities show 40% higher emotional resilience (情绪恢复力) scores. Face to face relationships affect the brain in ways that digital communication can’t.” In a significant policy consistency, the Ministry of Education announced phased implementation (阶段性实现) across 10 pilot provinces, integrating the initiative with existing mental health system including campus counseling centers and parental guidance workshops.
28. What is the main purpose of Yao Ming’s “24 hour screen free initiative”?
A. To control Internet use.
B. To reduce study tasks on students.
C. To improve technological knowledge and skills.
D. To deal with the sharp rise in screen addition among teenagers.
29. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The reform in Shanghai aims to cut down on book learning.
B. The measure in Guangdong is designed to develop leadership and EQ.
C. Oral communication assessments in Shanghai make up 30% of total score.
D. 85% of secondary schools in Guangdong carry out compulsory team sports programs.
30. What does the underlined phrase “detox” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. A new tech product for digital fun.
B. A technical solution to improve online connection speeds.
C. A planned break from electronic s to strengthen mental health.
D. A medical process in order to remove harmful matters from the body.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Digital Age Challenges for Teenagers. B. The Impact of Sports on Mental Health.
C. New Changes in China’s Education Policies. D. A Call for Social Engagement Beyond Screens.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了“两会”结束后,全国人大代表姚明提出了一项开创性的建议,即在全国范围内开展针对未成年人的“24小时无屏幕行动”的原因以及这个提议能带来的好处。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This overall plan seeks to deal with the alarming 68% surge in screen addiction among Chinese adolescents reported by the National Health Commission in 2024.(这一整体计划旨在应对国家卫生健康委员会在 2024 年所报告的中国青少年屏幕成瘾率高达 68%的这一令人担忧的现象)”可知,姚明发起的“24 小时不使用电子屏幕活动”的主要目的是旨在应对青少年因过度使用电子屏幕而导致的视力问题急剧恶化的情况。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A prime example comes from Shanghai’s 2025 English college entrance exam reforms, where oral communication assessments now take up 30% of total scores — a strategic move to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and practical social abilities.(一个典型的例子是上海2025年的英语高考改革,口语交流评价占总分的30%,这是一项弥补教科书上的知识与实际社会能力之间差距的战略举措)”可知,A选项“上海的改革旨在减少书本学习”不正确。故选A。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“students engaged in weekly offline group activities show 40% higher emotional resilience (情绪恢复力) scores. Face to face relationships affect the brain in ways that digital communication can’t. (每周参加线下集体活动的学生在情绪恢复力方面的得分高出40%。面对面的关系对大脑的影响方式是数字交流所无法比拟的)”可知,每周参加线下小组活动的学生表现出高于40%的情绪弹性得分。面对面的关系对大脑的影响是数码交流无法做到的。姚明这项计划旨在减少屏幕使用来应对青少年屏幕成瘾的急剧增长,所以这项计划是主动暂停使用电子设备以改善身心健康。故划线词意思是“通过减少电子设备的使用来加强心理健康”。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Following the conclusion of China’s 2025 “Two Sessions” political meetings, Yao Ming made a groundbreaking proposal (提议) for a nationwide “24 hour screen free initiative” targeting minors.(在2025年中国两会政治会议结束后,姚明提出了一个具有开创性的提议,即在全国范围内推行一项针对未成年人的“24小时无屏幕活动”计划)”以及文章主题围绕减少屏幕依赖、促进现实互动展开。姚明的倡议和上海高考改革均体现了鼓励线下交流与社会参与的核心思想。选项D“呼吁超越屏幕进行社会参与”最符合文章标题,故选D。
D
More than 50 countries and localities, including the UK, have recently introduced taxes on soft drinks. There is still a debate about the effect of such taxes. A new research surveys the evidence on the effects of soft drink taxes on prices and purchases in 27 studies covering 11 areas.
The reason for taxi ng soft drinks is that there are costs associated with their consumption that people do not fully consider. For example, there is a large body of evidence connecting the consumption of sugary drinks with increased rates of obesity (肥胖), tooth decay (龋齿) and other health conditions, resulting in worse health for individuals and higher healthcare costs born by the publicly funded health service. Charging a tax on sugary soft drinks acts to increase the price, and can encourage people to turn to other things.
20 of the studies that we surveyed look at the effects of soft drink taxes on prices. These studies find that taxes increase the prices faced by consumers. The size of the price increases varies, reflecting differences in the size and structure of the tax, the set of products and the size of the geographical area to which it applies. For example, price increases are typically less than the amount of the tax in smaller areas—such as Berkeley—where the ease of avoiding the tax leads to competitive pressures to keep prices down.
A common review of taxes on soft drinks is that they disproportionately (不成比例地) influence lower income individuals, because these people spend a larger percentage of their income on soft drinks. However, poor diet and its negative health effects are also more common among lower income households; there could be a lot of health benefits if taxes lead these households to reduce their intake of sugary soft drinks.
A number of studies look at whether the effects of taxes differ across people, with varying, and sometimes contradictory (矛盾的) findings. For example, studies in Chile, Catalonia and Philadelphia find that purchases fell most among higher socio-economic status (SES) households, a study in Mexico finds that purchases fell most among lower SES, and another study in Mexico finds no significant difference across SES.
32. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Why sugary soft drinks are being taxed.
B. How countries put taxes on soft drinks into effect.
C. The debate over the introduction of soft drink taxes.
D. The impact of soft drink taxes on public health policies.
33 What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Price increase varies by region and tax structure.
B. Many big names are against the policy of soft drink taxes.
C. Sugar taxes are collected to improve community facilities.
D. Public health awareness has improved consumer behavior.
34. Which can best describe the impact of soft drink taxes on different SES households?
A. Similar. B. Different. C. Ashamed. D. Predictable.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Soft Drink Taxes: A Smart Way to Stay Healthy?
B. Exploring Global Health Projects and Their Impacts.
C. Influence of Government Policies on Health Care Costs.
D. How Do Health Policies Affect Socio-Economic Groups?
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了对含糖饮料征税的问题及其效果。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第二段“The reason for taxi ng soft drinks is that there are costs associated with their consumption that people do not fully consider. For example, there is a large body of evidence connecting the consumption of sugary drinks with increased rates of obesity (肥胖), tooth decay (龋齿) and other health conditions, resulting in worse health for individuals and higher healthcare costs born by the publicly funded health service. Charging a tax on sugary soft drinks acts to increase the price, and can encourage people to turn to other things.(对软饮料征税的原因是,与消费相关的成本人们没有充分考虑。例如,有大量证据表明,含糖饮料的消费与肥胖率上升、蛀牙和其他健康状况有关,导致个人健康状况恶化,以及由公共资助的医疗服务承担更高的医疗成本。对含糖软饮料征税可以提高价格,并鼓励人们转向其他饮料)”可知,第二段主要讲了对含糖软饮料征税的原因。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第三段中“The size of the price increases varies, reflecting differences in the size and structure of the tax, the set of products and the size of the geographical area to which it applies. For example, price increases are typically less than the amount of the tax in smaller areas—such as Berkeley—where the ease of avoiding the tax leads to competitive pressures to keep prices down.(价格上涨的幅度各不相同,这反映了税收规模和结构、产品组合以及适用地理区域大小的差异。例如,在伯克利等较小的地区,价格上涨幅度通常低于税收金额,因为避税的便利性导致了保持价格低位的竞争压力)”可推知,价格上涨因地区和税收结构而异。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A number of studies look at whether the effects of taxes differ across people, with varying, and sometimes contradictory (矛盾的) findings. For example, studies in Chile, Catalonia and Philadelphia find that purchases fell most among higher socio-economic status (SES) households, a study in Mexico finds that purchases fell most among lower SES, and another study in Mexico finds no significant difference across SES.(许多研究着眼于税收的影响是否因人而异,结果各不相同,有时甚至相互矛盾。例如,智利、加泰罗尼亚和费城的研究发现,社会经济地位(SES)较高的家庭购买量下降最多,墨西哥的一项研究发现,社会经济地位较低的家庭购买量下降最多,而墨西哥的另一项研究发现,社会经济地位之间没有显著差异)”可推知,软饮料税对不同社会经济地位的家庭的影响是不同的。故选B。

A leader’s ability to communicate clearly and effectively(高效地) within teams is one of the elements of a successful business. And in today’s complex and quickly changing business environment, effective communication has never been more important. ___36___ The good news is that communication skills can be learned. These tips can help you master these skills.
Be clear and brief. Communication is mainly about word choice. ___37___ The key to powerful and persuasive communication—whether written or spoken—is clarity and brevity. Avoid unnecessary words and overly flowery language, which can take attention away from your message.
Be mindful of nonverbal (非口头的) communication. Nonverbal clues can have between 65% and 93% more impact than the spoken words. And we are more likely to believe the nonverbal signals over spoken words if the two are in disagreement. Leaders must be especially good at reading nonverbal clues. ___38___
Watch your tone. Tone can be an especially important factor in workplace disagreements and conflict. A well-chosen word with a positive connotation (含义) creates good will and trust. ___39___ By being mindful of your tone, you will be able to change it properly if a communication seems to be going in the wrong direction.
___40___ Communication nearly always involves two or more individuals. Therefore, listening is just as important as speaking when it comes to communicating successfully. The goal of active listening is to make sure that you hear not just the words the person is saying, but the entire message.
A. Practice active listening
B. Ensure a chance for each individual
C. And the best policy is that less is more
D. A poorly chosen one can quickly lead to misunderstanding
E. Thus, the ability to communicate might be a manager’s most key skill
F. Therefore, equal attention should be paid to verbal and nonverbal signals
G. Meanwhile, they should be able to control their own nonverbal communications
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. G 39. D 40. A

(领导者在团队内部进行清晰有效沟通的能力是企业成功的要素之一。)”提到领导者在团队中清晰有效沟通能力对企业成功很重要,在当今复杂多变商业环境中有效沟通尤为重要,E选项“Thus, the ability to communicate might be a manager’s most key skill.(因此,沟通能力可能是管理者最关键的技能。)”承接上文,强调沟通能力的重要性,符合语境。故选E项。

【38题详解】
根据该段标题“Be mindful of nonverbal (非口头的) communication.( 注意非语言交流。)”可知,本段讨论“非语言沟通的重要性”,以及前文“Leaders must be especially good at reading nonverbal clues.( 领导者必须特别善于解读非语言线索。)”提到领导者必须擅长解读非语言信号,因此设空处应补充领导者如何运用非语言沟通。G选项“Meanwhile, they should be able to control their own nonverbal communications.( 同时,他们也应能控制自己的非语言沟通。)”与前文形成并列关系,符合段落逻辑。故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据该段主题“Watch your tone(注意你的语气)”以及前文“A well-chosen word with a positive connotation (含义) creates good will and trust.( 一个精心挑选的带有积极含义的词会产生良好的意愿和信任。)”说精心选择带有积极含义的词能创造善意和信任,D选项“A poorly chosen one can quickly lead to misunderstanding.( 选择不当的词会很快导致误解。)”从反面说明语气和用词选择的重要性,与前文形成对比。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Communication nearly always involves two or more individuals. Therefore, listening is just as important as speaking when it comes to communicating successfully. The goal of active listening is to make sure that you hear not just the words the person is saying, but the entire message.( 沟通几乎总是涉及两个或两个以上的人。因此,在成功的沟通中,听和说同样重要。积极倾听的目标是确保你听到的不仅仅是对方说的话,而是整个信息。)”可知,这一段强调沟通涉及多人,倾听和说话同样重要,A 选项“Practice active listening(练习积极倾听。)”作为小标题,概括了这一段关于倾听的内容。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了位于蒙特利尔的一座中式花园。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:蒙特利尔中国园林,又称梦湖友谊园,是中国园林建筑的经典表现。“be known as”是固定搭配,意为“被称为”,此处用过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰 “The Chinese Garden”,表示“也被称为梦湖友谊园”。故填known。
【57题详解】
考查动词主谓一致。句意:这个占地2.5公顷的花园位于蒙特利尔植物园内,展示了江南风格,强调江南地区典型的水和山景观。此句主语 “this 2.5 - hectare garden”是单数,and连接两个并列的谓语动词“showcases”和“stresses”,根据主谓一致原则,这里要用第三人称单数形式。故填stresses。
【58题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:这个占地2.5公顷的花园位于蒙特利尔植物园内,展示了江南风格,强调江南地区典型的水和山景观。“be typical of”是固定短语,意为“是…… 的典型”,这里表示“长江以南地区典型的山水景观”。故填typical。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:花园有一个中央湖,周围环绕着几座传统的中国建筑,包括友谊堂和凝结云塔。“which”引导非限制性定语从句,先行词 “a central lake”与“surround” 之间是被动关系,即湖被环绕,且描述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是单数,所以是“is surrounded”。故填is surrounded。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意:花园最引人注目的特色之一是30英尺高的人造山,还有一个瀑布。“strike” 是动词,这里需要形容词作定语修饰 “features”,“striking”意为 “引人注目的”。故填striking。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这座山反映了该花园对传统中国园林设计的承诺,传统中国园林设计通常包括旨在代表世界精神和自然方面的精彩设计和元素。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代先行词“traditional Chinese garden design”,在从句中作主语,所以为关系代词which引导。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:这座山反映了该花园对传统中国园林设计的承诺,传统中国园林设计通常包括旨在代表世界精神和自然方面的精彩设计和元素。“aspect”是可数名词,“spiritual and natural”修饰它,根据语境这里表示多个方面,用复数形式。故填aspects。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:花园也以其五颜六色的灯笼而闻名,特别是在秋天的魔灯节期间,数百个手工制作的中国丝绸灯笼照亮了这个空间,营造了节日的气氛。“especial”是形容词,这里需要副词修饰整个句子,“especially”意为“尤其,特别”。故填especially。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:花园也以其五颜六色的灯笼而闻名,特别是在秋天的魔灯节期间,数百个手工制作的中国丝绸灯笼照亮了这个空间,营造了节日的气氛。“atmosphere”是可数名词,“a festive atmosphere”表示泛指“一种节日的氛围”,festive为首音节辅音单词,用不定冠词“a”。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:蒙特利尔的中国园林是一个风景如画的景点,将游客带到一个不同的世界,让每个游客都与大自然有深刻的联系。“transport sb. to...”是固定搭配,意为 “把某人带到……”,这里表示“把游客带到一个不同的世界”。故填to。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amellia received her end-of-year exam results — another failure in mathematics. Staring at the numbers and symbols, which were difficult to understand, in the test paper, she had to fight back her tears. She put the test paper aside and lay in the sofa, saying to herself, “I can never do this” in disappointment.
Having seen all this, Amellia’s father came, sitting beside her, “You can, if you think you can,” he said. His voice carried the firm message it always did when repeating his life’s mantra (口头禅).
“That’s easy for you to say,” Amellia groaned (嘟囔), “Math makes no sense to me.”
Her father sighed, removing his glasses. “When I was thirteen, I was asked to stand before the class to read aloud. I couldn’t. The words swam on the page. Dyslexia (阅读困难症) . No one understood it then. But my father told me those same words — ‘You can, if you think you can’ and eventually, I proved him right.”
Amellia wiped her nose, her father’s mantra sounding meaningless to her. Anyway, her problem was not dyslexia; it was math!
Months passed with little progress. Treating her efforts as useless, Amellia even gave up her struggle.
Each of Mr. Thompson’s math classes felt like approaching a battlefield unarmed. Unsurprisingly, she got another D for math in the October exam and she almost gave herself up as hopeless.
That evening, Dad seated Amellia at the kitchen table and placed a cup of tea before her. “I’m poor at math,” she sighed to the steaming liquid. “You are poor at math,” he agreed, surprising her. “But one day you’ll say you were poor at math.” He patted her shoulder. “The question is — do you want that day to come?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Something in Dad’s tone inspired Amellia.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On exam day, Amellia’s hands shook as she entered the hall to take the math exam.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Something in Dad’s tone inspired Amellia. The next morning, Amellia deleted all social media apps from her phone. She began attending Mr. Thompson’s after-school tutoring. At first, progress was slow. Some nights she cried over difficult problems. But gradually, something positive changed. Variables stopped being enemies and became tools. By March, she was waking at 5:30 am to practice papers. She declined birthday parties and movie nights. Her father watched this shift with quiet pride, reminding her to relax and refresh herself from time to time.
On exam day, Amellia’s hands shook as she entered the hall to take the math exam. The paper seemed to be scary as ever. Then, her father’s voice echoed in her mind: You can, if you think you can. She took a deep breath and managed to focus on the test items. Gradually, she was fully engaged in them, writing steadily and working out every problem. By the time the exam was over, she was sure enough to have good grades, which was confirmed the next day by an A. At that time Amellia finally realized the power of belief and perseverance.
【解析】

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child. Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son Nathaniel in Los Angeles — our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014. A whole week under his roof!
I had thought we had the mutual (互相的) feeling — missing each other, but it didn’t turn out that way.
“Dad don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel said on our first night.
The same happened when I washed my hands. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought is a concern. But I also got instructions for pulling extra paper towels to wipe the kitchen count er and to use the dishcloth, which didn’t seem clean.
More of these followed. At first I wondered how I’d raised such a tyrant (暴君). Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his brothers and sisters when they were young. Now it was payback time. I remembered getting upset at my own father’s commands growing up, so I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s household rules.
Our role reversal (反转) revealed another side to my elder boy, giving me hope for his future parenting ability.
One afternoon we were walking along EI Matador Beach and Nathaniel gently guided me from one large stone to the next, patiently telling me where to place my aching feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch.
“You did it! I’m really proud,” he said with a broad smile on his face, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
24. What specific rule did Nathaniel require about kitchen cleaning?
A. Using only new dishcloths. B. Keeping the sink dry at all times.
C. Washing hands before touching dishes. D. Pulling extra paper towels to wipe the counter.
25. How does the author feel about Nathaniel’s future parenting ability?
A. Uncertain. B. Confident. C. Puzzled. D. Annoyed.
26. According to Paragraph 7, how did Nathaniel help his father cross the beach?
A. By carrying him over dangerous rocks. B. By choosing a shorter route to the sand.
C. By warning him about approaching waves. D. By patiently guiding his movements step by step.
27. What is the main lesson the author learned from his visit to his son?
A. The need to maintain traditional parent-child relations.
B. The importance of communicating household expectations.
C. The value of mutual understanding and respect in the family.
D. The challenge of adjusting to children’s increased independence.
C
Following the conclusion of China’s 2025 “Two Sessions” political meetings, Yao Ming made a groundbreaking proposal (提议) for a nationwide “24 hour screen free initiative” targeting minors. This overall plan seeks to deal with the alarming 68% surge in screen addiction among Chinese adolescents reported by the National Health Commission in 2024. By systematically improving outdoor recreation, physical exercise, and direct interpersonal communication, the proposal specifically deals with the problems of digital overuse: worsening eyesight — with 83% urban teens requiring corrective lenses (矫正镜片), weakened social adaptability, and rising anxiety disorders connected with virtual socialization.
This proposal fits well with China’s ongoing education shift towards overall quality education. A prime example comes from Shanghai’s 2025 English college entrance exam reforms, where oral communication assessments now take up 30% of total scores — a strategic move to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and practical social abilities. Parallel developments in Guangdong province demonstrate this educational evolution, with 85% of secondary schools carrying out compulsory team sports programs that develop leadership and emotional intelligence through structured group interactions.
Famous education specialists have voiced strong support for this digital detox approach. Dr. Li Wei, a leading sociologist from Peking University, explained during an interview: “Our studies reveal that students engaged in weekly offline group activities show 40% higher emotional resilience (情绪恢复力) scores. Face to face relationships affect the brain in ways that digital communication can’t.” In a significant policy consistency, the Ministry of Education announced phased implementation (阶段性实现) across 10 pilot provinces, integrating the initiative with existing mental health system including campus counseling centers and parental guidance workshops.
28. What is the main purpose of Yao Ming’s “24 hour screen free initiative”?
A. To control Internet use.
B. To reduce study tasks on students.
C. To improve technological knowledge and skills.
D. To deal with the sharp rise in screen addition among teenagers.
29. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The reform in Shanghai aims to cut down on book learning.
B. The measure in Guangdong is designed to develop leadership and EQ.
C. Oral communication assessments in Shanghai make up 30% of total score.
D. 85% of secondary schools in Guangdong carry out compulsory team sports programs.
30. What does the underlined phrase “detox” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. A new tech product for digital fun.
B. A technical solution to improve online connection speeds.
C. A planned break from electronic s to strengthen mental health.
D. A medical process in order to remove harmful matters from the body.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Digital Age Challenges for Teenagers. B. The Impact of Sports on Mental Health.
C. New Changes in China’s Education Policies. D. A Call for Social Engagement Beyond Screens.
D
More than 50 countries and localities, including the UK, have recently introduced taxes on soft drinks. There is still a debate about the effect of such taxes. A new research surveys the evidence on the effects of soft drink taxes on prices and purchases in 27 studies covering 11 areas.
The reason for taxi ng soft drinks is that there are costs associated with their consumption that people do not fully consider. For example, there is a large body of evidence connecting the consumption of sugary drinks with increased rates of obesity (肥胖), tooth decay (龋齿) and other health conditions, resulting in worse health for individuals and higher healthcare costs born by the publicly funded health service. Charging a tax on sugary soft drinks acts to increase the price, and can encourage people to turn to other things.
20 of the studies that we surveyed look at the effects of soft drink taxes on prices. These studies find that taxes increase the prices faced by consumers. The size of the price increases varies, reflecting differences in the size and structure of the tax, the set of products and the size of the geographical area to which it applies. For example, price increases are typically less than the amount of the tax in smaller areas—such as Berkeley—where the ease of avoiding the tax leads to competitive pressures to keep prices down.
A common review of taxes on soft drinks is that they disproportionately (不成比例地) influence lower income individuals, because these people spend a larger percentage of their income on soft drinks. However, poor diet and its negative health effects are also more common among lower income households; there could be a lot of health benefits if taxes lead these households to reduce their intake of sugary soft drinks.
A number of studies look at whether the effects of taxes differ across people, with varying, and sometimes contradictory (矛盾的) findings. For example, studies in Chile, Catalonia and Philadelphia find that purchases fell most among higher socio-economic status (SES) households, a study in Mexico finds that purchases fell most among lower SES, and another study in Mexico finds no significant difference across SES.
32. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Why sugary soft drinks are being taxed.
B. How countries put taxes on soft drinks into effect.
C. The debate over the introduction of soft drink taxes.
D. The impact of soft drink taxes on public health policies.
33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Price increase varies by region and tax structure.
B. Many big names are against the policy of soft drink taxes.
C. Sugar taxes are collected to improve community facilities.
D. Public health awareness has improved consumer behavior.
34. Which can best describe the impact of soft drink taxes on different SES households?
A. Similar. B. Different. C. Ashamed. D. Predictable.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Soft Drink Taxes: A Smart Way to Stay Healthy?
B. Exploring Global Health Projects and Their Impacts.
C. Influence of Government Policies on Health Care Costs.
D. How Do Health Policies Affect Socio-Economic Groups?

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amellia received her end-of-year exam results — another failure in mathematics. Staring at the numbers and symbols, which were difficult to understand, in the test paper, she had to fight back her tears. She put the test paper aside and lay in the sofa, saying to herself, “I can never do this” in disappointment.
Having seen all this, Amellia’s father came, sitting beside her, “You can, if you think you can,” he said. His voice carried the firm message it always did when repeating his life’s mantra (口头禅).
“That’s easy for you to say,” Amellia groaned (嘟囔), “Math makes no sense to me.”
Her father sighed, removing his glasses. “When I was thirteen, I was asked to stand before the class to read aloud. I couldn’t. The words swam on the page. Dyslexia (阅读困难症) . No one understood it then. But my father told me those same words — ‘You can, if you think you can’ and eventually, I proved him right.”
Amellia wiped her nose her father’s mantra sounding meaningless to her. Anyway, her problem was not dyslexia; it was math!
Months passed with little progress. Treating her efforts as useless, Amellia even gave up her struggle.
Each of Mr. Thompson’s math classes felt like approaching a battlefield unarmed. Unsurprisingly, she got another D for math in the October exam and she almost gave herself up as hopeless.
That evening, Dad seated Amellia at the kitchen table and placed a cup of tea before her. “I’m poor at math,” she sighed to the steaming liquid. “You are poor at math,” he agreed, surprising her. “But one day you’ll say you were poor at math.” He patted her shoulder. “The question is — do you want that day to come?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Something in Dad’s tone inspired Amellia.

On exam day, Amellia’s hands shook as she entered the hall to take the math exam.
